spsurfer 891 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Makeing the blade black is just dipping it in FeCl3, but don't expect the blade to keep that deep black finish, it will wear down or will be replaced by real patina. Another option is to hotblue the blade, never done that before.. Regards Nicolas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
